Has tested both 2026 AT10s: the 18K is slightly softer than the 12K with a little more trampoline, better for double-glass defence, viboras and bandejas, with a slightly bigger sweet spot; the 12K is a bit better for fast volleys and blocks.

In shortPlayers describe it as soft, comfortable and forgiving, with good control and a gentle feel on the arm. The main downsides are modest power and a springy face that gets away from some players at pace. Suits those who want comfort and control over raw pop.

Great racket for control, it does sometime feel like it lack power

Found the AT10 18K 2026 very easy to play and to defend with from the back, and could flat smash with it, but its trampoline effect made placing shots and lobs hard, so they sold it.

“Very easy to play with but too much of a trampoline effect to precisely place shots anywhere and could not control the lob.”
